Hannah Is My Name is based on a true story. This book is about a young girl, Hannah, and her family who move to the United States from Taiwan. When they arrive in San Francisco, Hannah changes her name and starts acclimating to the new culture. While, the family adjusts to their home, they remain hopeful that their green cards will come and that San Francisco will become their permanent home.
I would use this book to teach my students about the challenges of coming to a new country. I believe that this book, along with others like it will help students grasp the idea that not everyone's journey to success and happiness is the same.
